Carly Pearce picks her Tracks Of My Years

Country superstar Carly Pearce - who's playing 'Grand Ole Opry: Live In London' on September 26th - takes us on her ten-song journey all this week. Plus Ten To The Top at 1030.

Country superstar Carly Pearce takes Vernon on her ten-song journey on Tracks Of My Years.

Having left her home in Kentucky aged just 15, Carly went from working at Dollywood - Dolly Parton's theme park - to becoming a Grammy and three-time Country Music Association winner.

She achieved her breakthrough with the hit single 'Every Little Thing' in 2017, and Carly's also known for anthems like 'I Hope You're Happy Now', 'Oklahoma' and 'What He Didn't Do'. Last year, she released her fourth album, 'Hummingbird', and she was in the UK earlier in the year as part of a huge European tour.

In 2023, Carly marked her 100th appearance at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, and last week she was on the bill for the first ever Opry held outside of America. Held at the Royal Albert Hall, 'Grand Ole Opry: Live In London' is one of the ways the institution is marking its centenary. Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Darius Rucker, Marty Stuart and Mumford & Sons were part of the lineup, and it鈥檒l be on Radio 2 on Thursday 2nd October, with the TV version on 蜜芽传媒 Two later in the month.

Plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the 蜜芽传媒 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week.
